Also, to get a Int32 out of a UInt32, you should be able to use induced_from:

>>> a = System::UInt32.new(1)
=> 1 (UInt32)
>>> Fixnum.induced_from(a)
=> 1

Minor thing, but it will work.

The fact that etc is a class is my bad. I was just getting enough implemented 
in order to pass some specs and use libraries that expected the nil on Windows.

That is a bug. Make it a module.

Quick question: The etc.rb in Libs is a class, but the implementation in the 
Ruby Standard Library appears to be a module. Should I keep the class or use 
the module?

Nice work.

A few suggestions:


-          You can move the file to C:\M0\Merlin\Main\Languages\Ruby\Libs.

-          Use System::Environment:: System::Environment.OSVersion.Platform to 
detect the OS (see e.g. Win32API.rb in Libs).

-          Rather than check for the platform in every method it might be 
better to define the methods differently on Windows. Something like:

module Etc
  platform = System::PlatformID
  case System::Environment.OSVersion.Platform
    when platform.Win32S, platform.WinCE, platform.Win32Windows, 
platform.Win32NT:

    def self.endgrent; end
  def self.endpwent; end
  def self.getgrent; end
      …
    else

   load_assembly 'Mono.Posix'


  def self.endgrent

    Mono::Unix::Native::Syscall.endgrent

  end



  def self.endpwent

    Mono::Unix::Native::Syscall.endpwent

  end



  def self.getgrent

    to_group(Mono::Unix::Native::Syscall.getgrent)





  end



   …
  end
end

I've posted an initial "complete" implementation, though I have only done basic 
testing. I have a couple of TODO's remaining and some cleanup, as well as 
writing actual specs. I still don't have tests running. You can find the module 
here: 
http://github.com/panesofglass/ironruby/blob/linux/Merlin/External.LCA_RESTRICTED/Languages/IronRuby/Etc/IronRuby.Libraries.Etc/etc.rb

Not the prettiest thing in the world, but I just wanted to get it working. I 
definitely still have work to do.

Cheers,

Sure!

 and 
Mono::Unix::Native::Group<http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=T:Mono.Unix.Native.Group>
 that are returned from the 
Mono::Unix::Native::Syscall<http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=M:Mono.Posix.Syscall.getusername(System.Int32>
 functions have UInt32, System.String, and System.String[]. System.String is no 
biggie, and I'm finding .to_i on a System.UInt32 is still displayed as 
System.UInt32, so I suppose that's not an issue, either. MRI displays Fixnum as 
the type, and I was trying to get the correct types back from the functions. 
That leaves MRI's Array to Mono's System.String[].

My current implementation is just a Ruby module wrapping calls to the Mono 
functions and returning the appropriate types. Most of it is working, though 
without being able to run tests easily, I'm testing from the command line. I 
still need to add conditionals to return nil if it's run on Windows. I suppose 
I also need to conditionally load the Mono.Posix.dll if it's on Windows, too.

I'm about to finish the basic implementation and post to 
github<http://github.com/panesofglass/ironruby/blob/linux/Merlin/External.LCA_RESTRICTED/Languages/IronRuby/Etc/IronRuby.Libraries.Etc/etc.rb>.
 (I've already got what I finished last night up there.) I also asked Shri for 
a pairing session to make sure it's inline with what you're wanting.

No conversion for Fixnums is needed (Fixnums are ints). Arrays are harder. I 
would take a look at clr_ext in merlin/main/languages/ruby/samples. Inside that 
file is a to_clr_array method

Where is documentation on converting between CLR and Ruby types? I can get 
RubyStrings, but what about Fixnum and Array?

Thanks,
